Ochako was the first to the door, only to let out a noise of shock to find a mob of students outside.
"What are you all doing here?!" Her question drew the attention of those who were still talking and Izumi and Katsumi who had once again been trying and failing to talk to Zabuza.
"Isn't it obvious?" Katsumi asked, walking over, "they're checking out the competition. They want to get a look at the class who survived a villain attack." She then turned to the crowd. "Now move it extras." Class 1-A flipped out, realizing she made them all look like jerks.
"You can't go around calling people extras, because you don't know who they are!" Iida said.
"So you're class 1-A huh?" A tired purple haired boy said, "What a drag. Anyway, some of us tried for the hero course, but couldn't get in, because our quirks aren't good in smashing robots. However, if we do well in the Sports Festival, we could replace one of you. That's why I'm here. My name is Hitoshi Nara, and I'm here to declare war on you." 1-A exploded in shock, as Jiro and Ojiro looked at Aizawa, the mist trio looked amused at Hitoshi, and Ochako tried apologizing for Katsumi's behavior.
"Hey! I heard you fought some villains, so you think you're better than us!" A silver haired boy said.
"We didn't fight the villains!" Ochako said, pointing to Kisame, "He butchered them!" Whispers asking who the Mist trio were, why there were more than twenty students in the class, and what did she mean by butchered. That's when Zabuza stepped in.
"If you truly believe your better than us, come with us to the gym and we'll see how strong you are." Many of the students backed away from the boy with the large sword.
"How about we wait on the duels for the Sports Festival," Mei said, playing peacekeeper, "We're going to the gym to train. Maybe you'd like to join us, so you can get stronger as well and put on a big show for the crowds?" Many of the students, including an annoying blonde student, scoffed at the idea. However, a red head named Kendo,the silver haired boy from before, and a handful of others agreed. The Mist Trio and those who wanted to train with them headed to a gym, to train together.

"LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!" Present Mic said over the speaker system, causing a cheer to come from the audience.
"WELCOME TO THE UA SPORTS FESTIVAL! I'M YOUR HOST, PRESENT MIC, WITH MY GOOD FRIEND, ERASERHEAD! ALSO WITH US, IS FUGUKI SAIKAZAN, TEACHER OF THREE STUDENTS WHO JOINED THE HERO COURSE LATE! WE'LL BE COVERING THE GOINGS ON OF THIS HERE TOURNAMENT!"
"What a drag. Why am I here again?"
"A pleasure to be here."
In a private box, the Prime Minister, sat with the Hokage, Kazekage and Mizukage on his right, and the Raikage and Tsuchikage on his left.
"I was surprised to hear from Aizawa that you allowed a team of Gennin to join the Hero Course," The Hokage said to the Mizukage, "What was your reasoning?"
"The world is changing," Yagura said simply, "We needed to join sooner or later."
"ALRIGHT! LET'S INTRODUCE OUR COMPETITORS! FIRST WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO SURVIVED A TANGLE WITH DASTURDEDLY VILLAINS, GIVE IT UP FOR HERO COURSE CLASS 1-A!!!" The cheering went up a notch as 1-A stepped out, heads held high. As Mic continued introducing classes, they received less and less attention, showing the obvious bias for the Hero Course.
"And now!" Midnight said from the podium, "Katsumi Bakugo will give the student pledge!" Katsumi walked up and said one line.
"I pledge, that I'm going to win." Class 1-A, the Mist Trio, the teachers, Nezu and even the Kage and Prime Minister all facepalmed.
The audience broke out into murmurings, wondering how powerful this girl had to be to be so confident.
"Straightforward kid, isn't she," the Hokage chuckled weakly, seeing the looks the other classes had started giving 1-A.
"Not very bright," the Kazekage said, "It's best to run near the back and be ignored for the first half, let yourself blend in, then show your stuff in the second half, once your enemies have been thinned out."
Katsumi didn't seem to care about the other classes, as she looked to Izuku for approval. The broadsword user looked amused at her. Not the, 'I find you funny' kind of amused, more like the, 'I'm going to enjoy watching everyone try to hit the target you just placed on your back.'
"Alright," Midnight said, "Now it's time for the foot race!"
Sorry for the shorter chapter, I'm planning on doing the first two challenges in one chapter then grouping up the one-on-one fights. Also, Zabuza, I apologize in advance.
